HAIR WAVER.

Application filed September 1, 1921. Serial No. 497,2;93.

To all who-m it may concern:

e it known that I, HARRY H. KLEIN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Hair VVavers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to dresswceighting,

or those devices, sometimes designated weighted tape, that are utilized in connection with womenis wearing apparel, along the lower edges of which they aresewed on .for weighting down the garment and pre senting thereto a taut appearance.

The principal object of my invention is to provide simple. inexpensive, conveniently and economically manufacturable, conveniently utilizable, strong, durable, effici'eut, and improved dress weighting.

Another obj ect of my invention isto provide a method for niaimfactiuing this new dress weighting. which method may be employed for manufacturing articles having many of the characteristics of the dress weighting herein, but which manufactured articles may be utilized for various other purposes, non analogous to that. of dress weighting as will be hereinafter seen;

Other objects and advantages will hereinafter appear.

In the accompanying drawings,-

Fig. 1 is an elevation showing a step in the process of manufacturing this dressweighting. i

Fig. 2 shows an elevation of the completed dress weighting, and also illustrates other of the steps in the process of manufacturing this dress-weighting.

Fig; 3 is a cross-sectional end elevation, in an enlarged scale, of the dress-weighting shown in Fig. 2. i

Fig. 4 is an elevation illustrating the applicability of the process herein to the manufacture of hair wavers, and shows the completed hair waversand also thesteps in the process for manufacturi ng thehair wavers. Fig.1 5 is a cross-sectional end elevation in an enlarged scale, of the waver shown in Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a cross-sectio showing a modification of the'wei'ghting.

The dress weighting 1 comprises a series or plurality of weights 2 mou ted .uporr ewere 8. and a wandered a ca e nal end elevation,-

ering the weights 2 as well as the stretches 5 of the cord 3 between the weights 2. In the production of this d1'ess\veighting the series of weights 2 are placed upon the cord 3 equidistantly, and the covering 6 for the weighting is then formed by means of winding the thread 4 around the weights 2 and around the cord 3 in a continuous manner, as shown in Figs. 2, 3. The weights 2 may be made of any suitable substance and con figuration, but are preferably made of lead, and preferably are of the double-conical con figuration here shown. The cord 3 may consist of an elongated strip of any suitable flexible material and of any cross-sectional shape, but preferably it consists of a fibrous cord of a circular cross-sectional shape, as here shown. The thread 4: may consist of any suitable filamentary substance of any cross-sectional shape, but-it is here shown as consisting of any common fibrous thread of preferably a circular cross-sectional shape. As here shown, each of the weights 2 is provided with a longitudinal slot 7, which extends from the periphery of the weight down to the locality of the longitudinal axis of the weight, and as each weight 2 is placed upon the cord it is slid thereover so that the cord 3 passes through its slot 7 and is lodged therein in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the weights, as shown in Fig. 3. Said slot may be of the same width as the diameter of the cord 3, so that the latter merely rests freely against the bottom wall of the slot, or this slot may be made narrower, whereby the cord 3 will bind therein and in this manner secure each weight of the series thereto, preliminarily to winding the thread 4 thereover to form the covering 6.

When the dress-weighting is thus completed in any indeterminate length, any section or length thereof may be severed from the remainder and utilized for required. purposes. It will be noted that, if desired, the. weights 2 may be made flattened, of enlarged compass, and of any appropriate circumferential shape; in which case they may be cut off individually from the remainder of the connected series of weights, and utilized for sewing on inclividually to the corners, or at intervals along the -lower edges, of garments. It will be evident that when the weighting is manu Q-Ctu'r'ed in the form of this type it may be shown in either manufactured in the form of tape, or in the form of individual weights. Or the same may be manufactured as tape-weighting and then severed between the weights 2 to constitute individual weighting and sold as such, or the same may be sold in the form of tape weighting and the purchaser may then sever the tape between the weights into individual weighting.

In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the weights 2 are mounted upon a plurality of cords 3, which pass through respective slots 7 formed in the side of each weight, and one of the advantages of this modification is that when the thread at is being wound around the weights and the cords 3 the latter retain the weights against any tendency toward lateral or rotational dislocation.

It is found that the process and principles underlying this invention may be adapted and utilized for the production and manufacture of articles other than dressweighting and for this reason the invention herein is claimed as an article of manufacture per se, in addition to being claimed as dress weighting.

Thus, in Figs. & and 5 is shown the applicability of this invention to the production of hair wavers. The waver 8 comprises a core 9 mounted upon or placed adjacent to or against a tape 10, and a wound thread 11 covering the core 9 and tape 10 as well as the terminals 12 of the tape projecting beyond the extremities 13 of the core 9. In the production of these waver-s a plurality of cores 9 are placed equidistantly upon a tape 10 of indeterminate length, and the covering 14 for the wavers is then formed by means of winding the thread 11. around the cores 9 and tape 10, and around the connecting tape-portions 15 between the adjoining cords 9, in a continuous manner as Figures 4:, 5. The cores 9 may be made of any suitable substance and may be of any suitable well known construction which would give it required pliability, but as here shown are made of lead strips. The tape 10 may consist of an elongated strip of any suitable flexible material and of any crosssectional shape, but preferably it consists of the fibrous textile tape of flattened cross-sectional shape here shown. The thread 11 may consist of any suitable filamentary substance of any cross-sectional shape, but it is here shown as consisting of any common fibrous thread of preferably a circular cross-sectional shape. As here shown, the tape 10 may bemerely placed against the core 9 and the thread 11 wound. around both, but if desired the core 9 may be secured by some suitable positive means to the tape 10, preliminarily to winding the thread 11 therearound to form the covering 14. Thus, for example, the cores 9 may be secured to the tape 10 in the manner shown wlnding process,

in Figs. 3 or 6 and described in connection with those forms. 01', if desired, an adhcsive may be applied to the tape 10 during the manufacturing process, by which means the securing of the cores 9 to the tape 10 may be effected, and which would also act as a binder for the thread 11 during the and would act to bind additionally and permanently the thread 11 to the tape -10 and core 9. After the manufacturing of the indeterminateplurality of hair wavers is thus completed they may be severed at their connecting places 15, to constitute the individual 'wavers S as utilized for hair curling.

Variations may be resorted to within the scope of the invention, and portions of the improvements may be used without others.
